Sleep training

Tonight is our first night where Sterling will sleep in her crib.  I don't think it's going to go well, but that's okay.  I hope I can stick to it, not give up and put her back in my room.  She falls asleep great, just has a hard time staying asleep for more than an hour.  She cries out in her sleep, but most of the time will fall back asleep on her own within 2 minutes or so.  I wish I remembered how I got Xander to sleep through the night with maybe only 1 waking.  Sterling and her 3 times a night demanding a bottle is ridiculous.  She's a big girl and can afford to miss at least one of those bottles for now.  I have cut the middle of the night bottles down to four ounces instead of six.  I tried doing the first wake up with a 6 ounce, then the others 4, but she was still getting up 3 times.  I think she's greedy, a big ole drama queen that needs to be drinking all the time.  I've also started her on rice and oatmeal with veggies and fruits.  She eats it up like she wanted it 3 months ago.  She's my little piggy, that's for sure!
I'm hoping this process will take no longer than a week, with a random wake up once a week or so...that would be nice! 

Pray for my sanity ya'll!
 
Have a great day!
